Given where you're at with the diet, might not be such a bad thing!

Raw Cacao Protein Bars

Took me a while to get this one written up.
These are seriously good.
The amount of protein is not huge in each bar (although I suspect some of you could polish off 4 - 5 bars without blinking ) ... BUT they are totally healthy and CLEAN (wash your ingredients well, lol).

No refined sugars, not artificial crap, and you can customise them to include whatever you like. I've given macros for the recipe as stated, if you make them as is. They taste fantastic.

Tamari Ginger Salmon - Recipe

For anyone on here who loves salmon

Tamari Ginger Salmon

I use sashimi grade atlantic salmon for this recipe. The flavour is amazing. It's the rectangular fillet, not the cutlet, that works best here.
It's a shame we can't get wild caught salmon here but there you go.

The recipe serves one. If you want to scale it up to serve two or more people, use about 1 1/2 x the recipe for the marinade for two servings/fillets. Double the quantity for three.

Serves 1

Macros
these are based on a 300g raw fillet (200g when cooked)
686kCals, P/C/F = 63/19/38 (only 8g sat fat)

Ingredients
1 x 300-500g atlantic salmon fillet (raw weight)

Sauce
30ml salt-reduced tamari
30ml mirin
juice of 1/2 lime (or a whole lime if not too juicy)
zest of 1 lime
1 clove garlic
small knob of fresh ginger (small walnut size)
fresh chopped chilli (optional)

1 tsp olive oil (I actually used green tea infused oil. wow)
fresh basil, chopped

Directions
Wash the salmon fillet under cold running water and pat dry.
Use a sharp knife to remove the skin from the salmon and trim off any visible fat, if needed.
Cut the fillet in half lengthwise and then slice it into even sized chunks.
Set aside.

Mix together the tamari, mirin, lime juice and grated zest of the lime in a small bowl.
Mince the garlic and ginger and add to the marinade.
Finely chop the chilli, if using, and add it to the marinade. Stir to mix.

Heat a non stick frying pan. When hot, add the teaspoon or two of olive oil.
Add the salmon pieces and cook, turning as needed, until just cooked through.
Raise the heat a little, and pour over the marinade, carefully turning the salmon to make sure it absorbs the flavours on all sides.
Remove the salmon to a serving dish. If needed, reduce the marinade down a fraction to make a sauce. Pour over the salmon.
Sprinkle over the basil and toss gently.

Serve with green salad, veggies, whatever.

The best part about this dish is that it's even better as leftovers. You can make it ahead. Cover and store in the fridge until later in the day or the next day.
I love making this to take to work.

Here's the obligatory seafood porn pics:

Inner Beauty Hot Sauce (Habanero or Rocoto Chillies)

For the chilli heads among you ...

Inner Beauty Hot Sauce

This sauce is amazing with chicken or fish or anything.
I eat it with a spoon. Love it. It has a real fruity kick but kicks you like a mule after that....

here's the link to the original recipe: Inner Beauty Hot Sauce & Chilli Jam … Peruvian style | Chocolate Chilli Mango

NB:

1. you can reduce the amount of brown sugar if you like, or replace it with a sugar substitute. I actually just make it as is. Given the amounts you use as a sauce that amount of sugar won't make a diff plus it will taste better. Sugar substitutes might ruin the sauce. You have been warned!

2. I make a hellfire version where I almost double the amount of habaneros/rocotos. If you are a serious chilli head, you might like to do that. WHOOAAAA it's amazing.

3. The addition of a little 100% cacao is my own thing. It's great but not necessary .. just my CCM special cos Chocolate + Chilli + Mango = perfection.

Pics on the site. If you want me to work out macros, i am happy to do that later today when i have more time

Hi Fibre Protein Pancakes

A simple pancake that is light and fluffy and has a good amount of fibre built in.
They're a great basic protein pancake as you can add or dress them up with anything pretty much.
Now, some of you might think "pfffttt, pea protein, no way". Well, your call. You want these to be light and fluffy? pea protein. you want them to be more rubbery? go for whey.
I don't eat truck tyres. They're for hitting, dragging and flipping. Pancakes, on the other hand...

I posted the full recipe with macros on my Facebook page here:

Chocolate Peanut Butter Yoghurt Cream

Chocolate + Peanut Butter = Awesomeness

Chocolate + Peanut Butter + Greek Yoghurt = Creamy Delicious Lighter Awesomeness

Great creamy C+PB thing to dollop on brownies, cheesecake, PROATS, pancakes, toast, fruit, whatever ... eat with a spoon as pudding.

Use whatever sweetener you like. I used a bit of Natvia.

I used Chobani greek yoghurt for this as it is very thick (strained). If you cannot get it, choose your favourite 0% greek yoghurt and strain it before weighing out the amount you need for the recipe.
To strain the yoghurt, cover a colander or sieve with muslin or fine cheesecloth. Place over a bowl. Pour the yoghurt into the lined sieve. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. The yoghurt should be thick like cream cheese. You will need about 550g of yoghurt to get 275g strained yoghurt in general (ie double the amount).

Makes 350g

Ingredients
275g Chobani 0% Plain Greek Yoghurt
40g peanut butter (I used crunchy)
25g raw cacao
sweetener to taste

Directions
Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Use a whisk to stir until combined. Whisk lightly until creamy and smooth.
Store in a jar in the fridge if not consuming immediately.
This should keep for a day or two.

Orange Cinnamon Custard Protein Bars

Made these yesterday and got pestered to post them up on my blog.

they really do have a custard slice kind of texture!

Something a bit different.

Tips:
1. I add even more cinnamon on top when I eat them. No such thing as cinnamon overload

2. If you love chocolate, melt some dark chocolate and pour or spread over the top. let it set. eat. it's THE SHIZ.

Frozen Berry Yoghurt (or other fruit)

This is really easy and you don't need an ice cream maker or anything to make it.

I still haven't figured out what's up with my Cuisinart ice cream maker (brand new) but when I do, I'll be whizzing up protein gelati/yoghurts for sure.

No protein powder in this but if you use the Cho yoghurt, it's really high in protein.

For now, this is what I do:

Ingredients
125g frozen berries or other fruit*
500g thick Greek yoghurt (plain or vanilla - I use Chobani 0% or 2%)
sweetener to taste or sugar/honey (I find Natvia is good)
a dash of vanilla ... 1 - 2 tsp

*I use raspberries usually as it's AWESOME or mango, banana, mixed berries or cherries.

You can also add some cacao, chocolate, or other flavourings, like cinnamon or spices, whatever.
if you add a tiny amount of alcohol (eg about a tsp of vodka if you don't want the taste), it will help prevent the yoghurt from freezing hard.

Whizz all the ingredients quickly in a food processor or blender until smooth.
Eat immediately as a soft serve or put back in the freezer for a bit if you want it a little more firm.
Remember that it has little if any fat so it will become hard and icy if left too long.

I made extra so I'd have some for the next day. I just took it out 30 minutes before I planned to eat it.

Really simple. Really good.

Salmon Fillet with Turmeric & Coriander

This was so good, I thought I might as well post it.

I used sashimi grade salmon fillet. You don't have to skin it but I usually do as it can also remove any excess fat next to the skin. Not because it's fat, but because I don't like it. So each to his/her own .. skin or no skin, it's all good.

Turmeric is really really good for you so hop to it and dig in!

Makes: 1 large fillet @ 300g

Ingredients
I large salmon fillet (300g or so)
1 tsp turmeric paste or powder (I used paste)
1 tsp coriander seed, freshly ground or powder
1/8 - 1/2 tsp ground chilli*
1/2 - 1 clove garlic, minced (to taste)
salt to season
EVOO
mirin (sweet rice wine not slang for admiring )

*I use freshly ground up habaneros but you can use whatever you like. Use a pinch or use more to taste. If you can't/won't eat chilli, season with some black pepper

Preheat the oven to 180C.

Combine the turmeric, coriander, chilli, minced garlic and salt in a bowl. Drizzle in just enough EVOO to make a paste.
Wash and pat dry the salmon fillet. Cut in two if it's large. I did as it made it easier to handle and it cooks faster. This is important as it stays juicy and tender
Rub the marinade over the fillets (if leaving on the skin, not on the skin side).

Heat a non-stick pan that you can also place into the oven.
Add a teaspoon of EVOO to the pan. Sear the fillets on all sides, about a minute or 90 sec each side.
Splash a little mirin over the fillets and place in the oven. Turn halfway through cooking. Should only take about 10 minutes to cook through. Maybe less, depending on the fillet.
Test with a knife or fork around 5 mins in.

Serve immediately with lots of fresh salad and/or steamed veg.

Mini Lemon & Ginger Blintz Cheesecakes

No protein powders required but each mini cheesecake has 13g of protein.
Given most of you would polish off about 6 - 12 in one sitting, I'd say you'd be getting a whopping dose

Low carb, mostly good fats ... no bad.
